![]() It looks sharper, and offers more storage and customization options than the Barnes & Noble Nook GlowLight. That said, the Aura H2O has some definite advantages over many other ebook readers on the market. And for most people, Amazon’s ecosystem will be more familiar and easy to navigate, making it the more logical choice. The Paperwhite is less bulky than the Aura H2O, and costs up to $60 less if you buy the version with ads (there’s also the option for 3G model, whereas the Aura H2O is Wi-Fi-only). ![]() The Kobo Aura H2O is an excellent ebook reader, but it doesn’t take our Editors’ Choice away from the Kindle Paperwhite. With the general high quality design and components, and more than adequate software, the Aura H2O easily lives up to the expectations engendered by its $180 price tag. It has a better screen and much nicer shell than its predecessor, the Aura HD (which costs $10 less). In spite of my issues with the Aura H2O, I still like this ereader. The only thing you don’t get access to is your Amazon content library – which can be a big turn-off if you’ve already invested heavily in the Kindle ecosystem.Įcosystem lock-in aside, Rakuten-owned Kobo has executed perfectly on e-reader hardware with the Aura H2O – so much so that even if you are invested in Amazon’s bookstore, if you’re a true lover of reading, it could be worth the switch. Kobo’s offering is the peak in terms of e-reader hardware right now – Amazon’s device is slightly smaller and lighter, but you get a far superior screen from the Aura H2O, as well as the built-in water resistance and superior reading light. There isn’t any new e-ink technology on the horizon that you should be saving yourself for, and the only new thing that will be out next year is a Kobo e-Reader that will likely have Wacom support and be bundled with a stylus for note taking. In the end, if you have a Kobo Glo, Kobo Touch or even a Kobo Aura, I would recommend you upgrade to the H2O. The company has tried very hard over the years to simplify the process, and are closer than ever with their live chat and 1-800 numbers, but they still have a long way to go. We have seen thousands of comments on our news site about most people experiencing the same type of errors, with no resolution in sight. Kobo sometimes receives a lot of flak for their abysmal customer service when it comes to hardware repairs or errors in purchasing books. You can read it just as easily in direct sunlight as you can in complete darkness, e-reading technology just took a giant leap forward. Not having to fret over spilled coffee or getting sand stuck under the screen is liberating. When it comes to freedom, the H2O provides it in spades. The H2O is considered to be the most complete e-Reader Kobo has ever produced. The Kobo Aura H2O is the byproduct of multiple generations of e-readers, and the constant refinement of software and hardware.
